(Biography) Gregor Johann (ˈɡreːɡɔr joˈhan). 1822–84, Austrian monk and botanist; founder of the science of genetics.

Still, he recounts making a few friends among the Ashkenazim, such as Chajim, a learned Polish Jew and watch-mender who may have served as a model for Mendel, the watch-mender protagonist of If Not Now, When?
